D.B.P. “The
Language of Science”

qualitative and
quantitative measures
to analyze data and
draw conclusions that
are free of bias.
D.B.P. – Identifying
variables in word
problems.
*We can identify the
variables of a scientific
experiment.
Design and conduct
scientific
investigations to explore
new phenomena, verify
previous results, test how
well a theory predicts,
and compare opposing
theories.
-Go over syllabus and
classroom expectations
and procedures.

experiment.
D.B.P.- More practice
problems with
experimental design.
* We can design and
conduct scientific
investigations to explore
new phenomena, verify
previous results, test how
well a theory predicts,
and compare opposing
theories.
*We can select appropriate
tools and technology to
collect precise and accurate
quantitative and qualitative
data.
- Groups will determine
which toilet paper is
